Hello. I got my PC in January 2015 and i have a AMD A8-6600K, a GTX 970, a ASUS A88X-PLUS Motherboard< A corsair CX 750 Power Supply, 16GB's of Kingston HyperX Fury with 6GB's of RAM, a Western Digital 1TB HDD AND Windows 10 Home. I've noticed recently that My games like minecraft even when i'm not recording that there can be a few lag spikes not common but they appear and i've also noticed that a few months ago i was able to play Advanced Warfare without lag but now i get it constantly. Even on low and i noticed that my CPU usage has got quite high but my GPU usage has decreased. So i was wondering if there was anyway to reduce my CPU usage

Oh god, who hurt you with a PC like that?

As to answer the question, getting a better CPU would definitely help. Your current one is not good enough for that GPU. Your power supply is pretty bad as well.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT 16GB GDDR6 Motherboard: MSI PRESTIGE X570 CREATION
AIO: Corsair H150i Pro RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32GB 3600MHz DDR4 Case: Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic PSU: Corsair RM850x White

I'm confused by this line:

 

16GB's of Kingston HyperX Fury with 6GB's of RAM

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Your CPU is very bottlenecked. if you like AMD you should use FX processor not A series.

even if you like AMD, you still probably shouldn't use any AMD CPU right now
